Verse:
 
E 
When will the princess figure it out 
                        A 
She ain't worth saving 
E 
Heavy the head that bears the crown Of my mistaken 
   A             B 
Apathy for sympathy 
                C#m               G#m 
To all of your constant pressing needs 
             B 
And I never learned, so... 

 
C#m                   E          A                        B 
I've been painting a picture of things I wanted the most 
C#m              E              A                       B  
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes 
F#m                B        G#                      C#m 
But there's was a monster standing where you should be 
                  A                         B 
So I'll paint you wings and I'll set you free 



Verse:
 
E 
I was a pawn in all your plans 
                   A 
You kept me busy 
E 
Locked behind your chamber doors 
When you felt frisky 
       A                  B 
Until you got sick of me 
             C#m           G#m 
I was never good enough to be 
      A          B 
Anything but remedy 
                C#m                G#m 
To all of your constant pressing needs 
       A     B 
And I never learned, so... 


C#m                   E          A                        B 
I've been painting a picture of things I wanted the most 
C#m              E              A                       B  
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes 
F#m                B        G#                      C#m 
But there's was a monster standing where you should be 
                  A                         B 
So I'll paint you wings and I'll set you free 



Verse:
 
E 
When will the princess figure it out 
                         A 
She ain't worth saving 
E 
And when will the world get over 
All her misbehaving 
        A     B 
Will we ever learn 

 
C#m                   E          A                        B

F#m                B        G#                      C#m 
But there's was a monster standing where you should be 
                  A                         B 
So I'll paint you wings and I'll set you free 
(So she can fly away)

C#m              E              A                       B  
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes 
F#m                B        G#                      C#m 
But there's was a monster standing where you should be 
                  A                         B   C#m   E 
So I'll paint you wings and I'll set you free
